Samuel Armenteros scored both Portland goals Friday night as the Timbers beat the visiting San Jose Earthquakes 2-1. Trailing 2-0, San Jose got a goal from Florian Jungwirth in the 87th minute on an assist by Quincy Amarikwa.

Quakes standout Danny Hoesen, the league’s fourth-leading scorer with 10 goals, left in the 23rd minute with an injury. San Jose also lost Kevin Partida to an injury.

Armenteros’ left-footed goal from the center of the box in the 14th minute gave Portland a 1-0 lead. He scored the same way from nearly the same spot in the 53rd minute on an assist from Diego Valeri.

San Jose has the league’s second-worst record. The Quakes have won just twice in 18 matches.

Portland, which got three points in the standings for the win, moved into a tie with Real Salt Lake for fourth place in the Western Conference.
